HRRC has a nice record of supporting home recording, but they
typically represent the views of CE manufacturers rather than of
end-users of technologies. So they have a narrow focus on recording
and not on things like user-serviceability and reverse engineering.
DigitalConsumer is pretty new and is working specifically on fair use
(with a somewhat more expansive view).
EFF might send a representative, but was not invited to be on the
panel.
